Say something about weird interview?

Pretty sure I will not be called for 2nd round because people are getting emails about superday already. None of the other interviews gave technical questions. I feel like I should say something. This was NOT FIT as HR said.

I've heard a few people say it is best to do a S&T internship so you get to see what thats about before committing. Then, even if you don't get an offer back it doesn't matter because you didnt want to do it anyway. Not getting an offer in S&T is a lot better than not getting the offer in IB - is there any truth to this? I think not getting the offer in S&T is worse
